So I got this one plant, Jamaican Dream by Eva Seeds, that is a tall Christmas tree mofo..Should have topped a few times but hey lesson learned. Anyways I've got this 6' bamboo but I dont think its enough to reach the top of her..think it a good a idea to tape two poles together to create an 11' or so stake? This is what she looks like:

Well is that already streched or does it still need to? because if its gonna stay around 6' id just use the one pole even if it doesnt reach all the way to the top it will still give it some support. if that hasnt streatched yet that thing is a fuckign monster.

Drive a long stake in the ground about 8-10 foot away. Run a rope to the top and middle of the plant to the stake.

Over the next couple weeks slowly pull the plant sideways where it will reach the six foot poles. Tie it in on multiple poles.

Basicly tur it sideways.

If not just tape some together. I also go in he woods and cut saplings and dry them. You can get good straight poles 15+ feet long. Go out in the river and cut some river cane.



Gorgeous plant.

Ive done it ....good old duct tape and two shorts will make a long one ....however make sure u overlap the poles enough where you tape them together and use plenty of tape to ...
I would put two end to end and over lap a third pole over both. If that makes sense. That garden tie wire for the .99 cent store is awesome. I bought hundreds of feet for a few bucks.

Lay two poles end to end. Set the third pole dead center where the ends meet. And tape.

Now that's some beautiful art WB what gallery did you steal that from ....I was going off him having just the two ....and didn't know 99 cent store sold the plant tie I need some more ...I've been using the large rolls with built in cutter for coveiniance while I'm playing in the jungle tying them up .......I also love grabbing straight poles when I see them on the ranch ...saves money and they work great .....I've got potatoe bushes and when I trim them real heavy I keep the stock for when my plants are younger they are very straight and strong once they dry got a shit load so I don't have to buy them ........

Just remember secure her good now so you don't end up broken hearted with busted plants later ....seems like I'm always bracing my fat girls outside ...by the time I'm done I damn near have a tree house to play in once the plants gone .....or sometimes it looks like a run down Indian TP.......IMO brace brace brace if there big

Nice looking plant, if you can support those buds till harvest you will be greatly rewarded. That Jamaican Dream is good smoke. Grew it out a few years ago :weed:
